Hello Tim
Keith,
You're saying Ebay picks and chooses which of its own rules to follow
and when?
I'm saying what I said. I won't extrapolate from only one case,
though it's unlikely to be the only such case. Whatever, it surely
contradicts your conjecture over copyright.
Perhaps so but if that is the case, at least we know it is
Ebay doing the suppressing unless you think they are getting squeezed by
"someone."
I could imagine them succumbing to political pressure over the cards,
even in advance of any such pressure, they wouldn't be the first, and
otherwise I could imagine them not giving a damn.
I'm a bit puzzled by your ongoing questions about foreign "aid". I
believe it's been pointed out that there's a lot of info in the list
archives on this subject, and then I posted a whole lot more, and you
seem to ignore it. Why so, if you're genuinely interested? Or are you
just trolling?
Keith
Thanks for the advice to delete irrelevant material.

:-) Believe the small print if you like.
Quite a regular item offered on eBay is this:
http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/z/woh1.j
pg
Taken directly from our site, the description also taken directly
from our site, and offered as original plans for sale at $20 or
something similar. It was JtF who resurrected these plans, but, as
acknowledged, the copyright belongs to Mother Earth News, but there's
zero acknowledgement of either JtF or MEN. Try telling eBay about it
- I got exactly nowhere, and neither did several other people.
Please trim irrelevant previous material from your posts Tim, you're
wasting tons of bandwidth. Thankyou.
